Oahu
We participated as a couple.
Chieko's refreshing smile and flawless service when she picked us up at the hotel blew away any worries, and I had a feeling this tour would definitely be fun.
That feeling was spot on! The snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was sparkling and dreamlike, and I even want to try scuba diving with Chieko next time. (I probably will, haha.)
I believe we were able to see the sea turtles and the rare schools of giant trevally thanks to Chieko, who knows Hanauma Bay inside and out! The photo with the sea turtle that she took is a precious treasure.
Thank you so much for teaching us the beauty and value of the underwater world!
I look forward to next time as well!♪
夫婦で参加しました。
宿泊ホテルまでお迎えに来てくれたChiekoさんの爽やかな笑顔とそつのない対応に不安は吹っ飛び、このツアーは間違いなく楽しいだろうと予感しました。
予感は的中!ハナウマ湾のシュノーケリングは今思い出しても全てが夢のようにキラキラして、Chiekoさんと一緒なら今度はスキューバダイビングもやってみたいと思うほどです。(多分やりますw)
当たり前の様にウミガメさんに会えたのも、珍しいギンガメアジのグルグルを見れたのもハナウマ湾を知り尽くしたChiekoさんだからこそだと思います!撮っていただいたウミガメさんとのツーショットは大切な宝物です。
海の世界の美しさ、そして尊さを教えて下さり本当にありがとうございました♡
また次回もよろしくお願い致します♪
Tetsuyan123 and Moo, thank you for coming together this time. It was the day when one participant returned to the beach after a while, and I took you out to the sandy area of the heart offshore. The giant trevally always swims in a swirling manner like that! It was beautiful!! I'm glad the turtle came close as well. I would be happy if you could repeat your visit when you come back to Hawaii. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
てっちゃん123&むう様、この度はお二人でお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。この日はお一人で参加されていた方が途中でビーチにお戻りになった後に、沖のハートの砂地までお連れした日でしたね。ギンガメアジはいつもあんな感じでぐるぐる渦巻きで泳いでいるんですよ!綺麗でしたね!!亀さんも近くまで来てくれて良かったです。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただけたら嬉しいです。またお会いできるのを楽しみに待っています。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
We participated in a trip to Hawaii with my two nieces and my husband, making it a memorable experience on April 27, during the first half of Golden Week. Since we were staying at the Hilton, we walked to the nearby harbor meeting point, which was easy to find. Only my nieces actually "flew," while my husband and I observed from the boat that was towing them, so I thought we would be sharing the experience with other participants, but luckily it was a private tour. Right after boarding, we quickly bonded with the local American crew, and the atmosphere was friendly and cheerful, allowing our whole family to have a great time! However, the moment when my nieces suddenly soared high into the sky during the takeoff was a bit nerve-wracking. It was just a little over a 30-minute experience, but both my nieces and we were able to create unforgettable memories!
GW前半を利用して姪たち2人と私たち夫婦の4人でのハワイ旅行の「めだま」として4月27日に参加しました。ヒルトンに滞在していたためすぐお隣のハーバーの集合場所(すぐわかりました)へは徒歩で行きました。実際に「飛行(なのかしら)」するのは姪たち2人だけで私たち夫婦は牽引するボートからの見学でしたので、他の参加者さんたちとの「相乗り」かな、と考えていましたがラッキーなことに貸切でした。乗船直後から現地のアメリカ人クルーの人たちともすぐに打ち解け終始和気あいあいの雰囲気で家族全員とても楽しめました!ただ飛空準備体勢から姪っ子たちが「あっ」という間に空高く舞い上がって行く瞬間はちょっとドキドキしました。わずか30分あまりの体験でしたが姪たちも私たちも忘れられない思い出を作ることが出来ました!
The sea turtle watching was a lot of fun, with the staff providing great support! I was lucky to see a manta ray, which only appears occasionally! They also informed us about what we could and couldn't do at the sandbar, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any danger. There were light snacks and drinks provided, making it a fulfilling tour for the price.
ウミガメウォッチングではスタッフさんがしっかりフォローしてくださりとても楽しい時間でした!
たまにしか現れないマンタにも会えてラッキーでした!
サンドバーでもやっていいことダメなことを教えて下さり、危険もなく楽しみました。
軽食やドリンクも用意されてて価格の割には充実したツアーでした。
The day began with an exciting morning call, and while rubbing my sleepy eyes, I listened to the safety instructions and equipment explanations in the stylish bus, which really got my spirits up. Above all, the high energy of the staff was infectious. With their thoughtful attention to detail and unique personalities, the atmosphere on the boat felt like a party, and it was so much fun.
At the dolphin point, I was thrilled to see dolphins swimming slowly right beneath me. At another spot, the water was so clear it felt like I was not even underwater, and I had wonderful memories swimming with sea turtles and tropical fish, losing track of time. I also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and hula lessons, and I definitely want to participate again next time.
It's a tour that interacts with nature, but there’s so much more to enjoy beyond just the dolphins, so I highly recommend it.
*To those participating: Depending on the season, I recommend renting a wetsuit. My wife loved the logo and ended up buying it.*
モーニングコールから興奮の1日が始まり
眠い目をこすりながらかっこいいバス車内で注意事項やグッズの説明を聞き
テンションが上がります
そしてなにより スタッフ皆さんのハイテンション
細かい気遣いと個性的なキャラの面白さで
船上はパーティー状態で楽しかったです
イルカポイントでは自分の真下をゆっくり泳ぐイルカたちに
感激
別のポイントでは水中ではないような透明感のある場所で
ウミガメや熱帯魚と泳ぎ時間を忘れてしまうほど良い思い出でした
滑り台やトランポリン・フラレッスンも楽しめ 次回も必ず参加したいと
思います
自然相手のツアーですがイルカ以外にも楽しめておすすめです。
※参加される方へ 時期にもよるかと思いますがウエットスーツをレンタル
されることをお勧めします。
妻はロゴが気に入り購入しちゃいましたが
Thank you for your wonderful comment. The west side of Oahu offers truly beautiful ocean experiences. Of course, the dolphin experience is also fantastic, but we are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful sea. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
嬉しい書き込みありがとうございます。オアフ島ウエストサイドは、本当に美しい海の体験ができます。もちろん、イルカの体験も素晴らしいですが、キレイな海を満喫していただけたようで、私たちスタッフも嬉しい限りです。また是非お会いできる日を楽しみにしています。
The parasailing was the highlight of our visit to Honolulu! Check in was easy and the crew was fantastic. They made the activity that much more special and fun. Would highly recommend!
The whole tour from start to finish was breath taking! Truely an experience of a lifetime. To be able to go under the waters depths and see the hawaiian pyramids and see the marine life in their natural habitat . Loved it
I had an incredibly fun time. However, it might be a bit scary because it's quite expensive. Since you go out to sea by boat, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness. In the end, you definitely have to get your feet wet, so I think it's essential to participate in swimwear.
めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。あとは、高すぎて少し恐怖を感じることもあるかもしれません。船で沖まで出るので船酔いしやすい人は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。最後は必ず足だけ水中に浸かりますので、水着での参加必須だと思いました。
We participated as a couple in our 50s. Everyone else was either a young couple or a young group, and I was a bit anxious since I'm not great with heights, but I had a lot of fun. We flew for quite a long time, took many photos, and enjoyed taking pictures and videos with each other's smartphones, spending a great time together. I highly recommend it.
私たちは50代の夫婦で参加しました。
一緒になった人は皆若いカップルだったり若いグループで、私は少し高い所が苦手なのでちょっと不安でしたが、とても楽しかったです。
結構長い時間飛んでいて、写真も沢山撮っていただいたし、一緒になった人たちとは順番にお互いのスマホで写真や動画を取り合い楽しい時間を過ごせました。
おすすめです。
Well organised and friendly tour - plenty of time at both the sandbar and the snorkel location. Lunch was great, snorkel equipment provided, highly recommend doing this activity.
From the hostess at the Blue Tent to the boat crew - everyone made the experience enjoyable. Plenty of fish and turtles. Quality snorkeling gear. And finished with a nice relaxing sail around Diamond Head. A definite do again on our next trip. Since we stayed at the Hall Koa, access was a quick walk down the beach. No hassles of finding parking on the busy Waikiki strip.
There were few fish. More than half of the scenery was empty. I felt seasick. Since they don't shine white light on the fish, it was almost a black-and-white world. It was a wedding, so despite having paid a lot of money, my mother whispered, "This is one of the three major disappointments in Hawaii."
魚が少ない。何も無い景色が半分以上。船酔い。魚に白色光を当てないので、ほぼ白黒の世界。結婚式だったので、折角高いお金を払ったのに、母親が「これはハワイ三大ガッカリの1つ」と呟いていました。
The sea has a very shallow coral reef, which may vary depending on the time of day and season. In shallow areas, the coral can be about 50 centimeters deep, and if you're unlucky, you might get injured.
While explanations are available in Japanese, the level of danger is such that it doesn't help much. I was fine, but someone in my group did get hurt.
Additionally, the waves are weak, and beginners who are not used to paddling will find themselves unable to do anything without the instructor pushing their board, leading to a lot of waiting time.
These issues are not the fault of the instructors or the tour office; they are problems with Waikiki Beach itself. If you participate in activities at Waikiki Beach, you might find it difficult to enjoy anything. However, if you go snorkeling, you might be able to see the coral and have some fun.
時間帯や季節によるかもしれませんがかなり遠浅な珊瑚礁のある海です。浅いところは珊瑚が50センチ位な所もあり運悪いと怪我します
その辺は日本語で説明を受けられますが説明を受けてもどうにもならないレベルで危険
私は大丈夫でしたがグループ内で怪我をした方がいました
また波も弱くパドリングになれていない初心者ではインストラクターに板を押してもらわないと何も出来なくて待ち時間ばかりになります
これらはインストラクターやツアー営業所の問題ではなくワイキキビーチの問題です。ワイキキビーチでのアクティビティに参加すると何をやってもダメでしょう
シュノーケリングならばもしかすると珊瑚が見れて楽しいかもしれない
I went with a group of friends and we had a blast! The staff was amazing and explained everything to us. They also reminded everyone of the importance of treating the animals with respect which made us very happy!
Aloha Victoria,
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We're so happy you had a good time and appreciated our respect of the marine wildlife we encounter!
The staff were interesting and it was fun. Also, the view was amazing. If the weather is good, I think it will be a really great experience. However, I get seasick, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are prone to it.
スタッフの方が面白い方で楽しかった。また、眺めも最高でした。天気が良ければ、ほんとにいい体験になると思います。ただ船酔いするので、乗り物酔いする方は必ず酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいと思います。
The transportation and guide were in English, but it was at a level that was manageable even for those who are not good at English. They suggested taking photos for a fee and providing the SD card, but if you decline, there’s no pressure to buy, and they explain everything in advance, which is reassuring! You can also choose whether or not to land in the water!
I participated with my parents, who are over 60, and they seemed to enjoy it without fear even at 130 meters. The tip is separate; we gave $40 for the four of us when we got off the boat! Additionally, the pickup for the outbound trip was at a designated location near our accommodation, but for the return, they dropped us off right in front of the hotel. The vehicle for transportation had a case for tips, and I put in some change and about $2.
I am very satisfied.
送迎もガイドも英語でしたが、英語が苦手でも平気なレベルでした。有料で写真を撮ってSDカードごと渡すことができると進められますが、断れば押し売りされることもないし、ちゃんと事前に説明してくれるので安心!着水するかしないかも選べます!
60歳を越えている両親と参加しましたが、130mでも怖くなく楽しかったようです。チップは別で、船を降りる時に4人で$40渡しました!また、送迎は行きの集合は宿泊先近隣の指定された場所でしたが、帰りはホテル前まで送ってくれました。送迎の車にはチップを入れるケースがついてて、小銭と$2ぐらい入れておりました。
大満足です。
It was a nice outing. You can bring your own liquor. The crew was nice. They only offer beer and water, but I think wine would be a nice addition. It was good, especially for the price. Nothing exceptional though.
My husband and I decided to take the atv tour for our anniversary while vacationing in Oahu. We are both very satisfied with the tour and the guide (Pablo). We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the gorgeous views to see throughout the tour. There were 6 of us in a group and I thought that was nice and just enough people. We are very happy we decided to take this ride. The Kualoa Ranch has many things to do and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
The tour was exciting, and the progress was smooth, making it enjoyable without getting bored! It was a bit cloudy due to the volcanic eruption, but I was satisfied. However, the hamburger for lunch was cold, so I would have preferred to eat it while it was warm.
ツアーの盛り上げ方、進行がスムーズで飽きずに楽しめました!噴火の影響で少し曇ってましたが、満足できました。
ただ、お昼のハンバーガーは冷めていたので
あったかいうちに食べたかったです
I participated in a three-generation family trip! My father had been hoping to see a submarine! I was so moved when I saw it emerge from the sea before diving!! However, once we dove, there were not many fish to see. I was expecting to see a variety of fish, but there was a lot of time spent just looking at the endless seabed, with only occasional fish…
3世代家族旅行で参加しました!
父が希望していた、潜水艦!潜る前に海から現れる姿を見て見たときは、感動しましたー!!
が、いざ潜ると、魚少ないのですね〜
もう少し色々な魚が見られるのかな?と期待していましたが、果てしなく続く海底を眺める時間も多く、たまに魚…という感じでした、汗
I went in mid-March, and it was a bit chilly, so there were fewer customers. Thanks to that, I was able to ride the slides, which you can't find in Japan, multiple times! It was just my friend and me, but there were plenty of slides we could ride together, which was great. However, the lockers were quite cramped, even for two people's belongings, so I recommend bringing less luggage!
3月の中旬に行ったのですが、少し肌寒かったこともありお客さんは少なかったです。そのおかげで、日本にはないようなスライダーに何度も乗ることができました!
友達と2人だったのですが、2人で一緒に乗ることができるスライダーもたくさんあったので、良かったと思います。
ただ、ロッカーが大でも2人分の荷物を入れてぎゅうぎゅうだったので、荷物は少なめで行かれることをおすすめします!
The weather on the day was unfortunately cloudy with occasional rain. I headed out to the sea feeling a bit anxious, but we weren't blessed with clear skies, as it drizzled lightly along the way. However, the scenery was beautiful, and it felt really nice.
I wanted to capture the moment as a keepsake, so I requested a photo shoot for an additional $30 (I gave the tip at this time). They took pictures with the plane flying by, and when it was cloudy, they adjusted the location to catch any breaks in the clouds!
Basically, the staff members do not speak Japanese, but they were all bright and friendly! By the way, the boat can sway quite a bit, so if you're worried about motion sickness, it's a good idea to take some medication.
You can bring simple items as your carry-on: a bath towel, sunglasses, a tip, and $30 for the photo request. It can get chilly on the boat, so it's better to bring a rash guard. If you put your smartphone in a waterproof case that you can hang around your neck, you'll be able to take pictures when you go up.
当日の天気が、あいにくの曇り時々雨。
ハラハラしながら海上へ向かったんですが、途中軽く雨が降ったりで快晴には恵まれませんでした。でも、景色も良くてとても気持ち良かったです。
記念として残したかったので、+30ドルで写真撮影もお願いしました。(チップはこの時に渡しました)飛行機が飛んだりしてると一緒に撮ってくれたり、曇りの時は晴れ間があると場所を調整してくれたりして撮ってくれますよ!
基本的にスタッフの方々は日本語は喋れませんが、みんな明るくて親切な方々ばかりでした!
ちなみに、結構船が揺れるので心配な方は酔い止め薬は飲んだ方がいいです!
手荷物は簡単なものでOK。バスタオル1枚、サングラス、チップと、写真をお願いする時は30ドル。船上は寒かったりする事もあるので、ラッシュガードは持って行った方がいいです。
スマホは首から提げる防水タイプのケースに入れておくと、上に上がった時に撮影出来ると思いますよ。
I took my 7.3-year-old daughter to participate in Dolphin Touch (without swimsuits). We boarded a large bus with participants from various locations and set off! It was cold inside the bus, so a jacket is necessary. The scenery on the way was beautiful.
The location is surrounded by the sea and mountains, and just being there is healing. There is a "Wolphin," a mix of a whale and a dolphin, which exists only in two places in the world.
The birdhouse was an incredibly fun experience, where you can feed the birds inside. Many beautiful birds perched on our hats and hands, and the kids were super excited! Additionally, there were sea turtles, opportunities to feed fish, and a small slide, making it a place full of activities.
7,3歳の娘を連れってドルフィンタッチ(水着なし)に参加。大きなバスに各所から参加者が乗り込んで出発!バス内が寒く、、上着必要です。
着くまでの景色が綺麗でした。
場所は海と山に囲まれた所で、いるだけで癒されます。世界で二頭しかいない、クジラとイルカが混ざった、”ウォルフィン”がいます。
鳥小屋がとにかく面白い体験で、小屋内で餌をあげれます。帽子や手に綺麗な鳥が沢山止まり、子どもも大興奮‼︎ その他、ウミガメもいたり魚に餌やりが出来たり、ちょっとした滑り台があったり、遊びが満載でした。
I participated with my wife and our son who just turned four. My wife was worried because there were reviews mentioning that the boat sways, and she tends to get seasick, but we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves completely. However, I think it really depends on the weather and wave conditions, so it might be good to plan while checking the weather forecast. The weather was nice, so we were able to fully enjoy the sunset. There were also some older participants who approached us and spoke to us in simple English, which made for very good memories.
妻と4歳になったばかりの息子と参加。
揺れるという口コミがあり、船酔いしやすい妻は心配していましたが、私達は全く問題なく楽しめました。ただしやはり天候や波の状況によると思うので、天気予報を見ながら計画されるのが良いかと思います。
天気も良かったのでサンセットも十分に満喫できました。年配の参加者も散見され、簡単な英語で話しかけて頂けたりととても良い思い出となりました。
I was a bit anxious because the pickup didn't arrive on time. The parasailing staff spoke Japanese, and the views were amazing; it was so much fun overall. They took a lot of photos, which became great memories. In the end, we splashed into the sea, but it was so well done that there was nothing but enjoyment! I'm planning to go to Hawaii again, and I want to experience this once more!
時間通りにお迎えが来なかったので、ヒヤヒヤしました。パラセールのスタッフは日本語を話してくれるし、景色は最高でとにかく楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮影してくれていて、いい思い出になりました。最後、海にポチャンしますが、丁寧なので楽しさしかありませんでした!またハワイに行く予定ですが、もう一度体験したいです!
The weather wasn't very good and it was rather cold, so we couldn't go into the pool much. I think we would have enjoyed it a lot if the weather had been nice. My 4-year-old son enjoyed the slides in the kids' area!
天気があまり良くなくて、どちらかといえば寒かったのであまりプールには入れませんでした。お天気が良ければとても楽しめたと思います。4歳の息子はキッズエリアのスライダーを楽しんでいました!
We all loved the time spent with Hawaii Parasail, was such an awesome addition to our time here in Oahu! Thank you all so very much!!!
From the pick-up to the experience, everything including the talks was enjoyable. It was the best! I work in customer service, and I really learned a lot. It was amazing!
送迎から体験までトークなどすべてを含め楽しませてくれ最高でした僕は接客業ですが本当に勉強させられました最高でした‼
Memorable experience! The crew provided a fun relaxed environment. They were attentive to our needs but allowed you freedom to explore the boat. Excellent snorkeling near the reef. My family had the opportunity to view a variety of sea creatures. Free snacks while sailing was an added bonus. Great overall experience at an economical price.
I simply went at the reserved time with my online booking, and since the payment was already settled, I just sat down and enjoyed my lunch. The meal included a choice of two types of pasta, along with an appetizer of green salad and bread (served with olive oil), which was delicious. The staff who spoke Japanese were very kind and attentive.
ネット予約で予約時間に行くだけで支払いも精算済なので、席に座って食べるだけのランチタイムでした。
料理は、2種のパスタから選択で前菜のグリーンサラダやパン(オリーブオイル
付けて食べます)も出てきて、おいしく頂きました。
日本語話せるスタッフが親切に応対して頂きました。
Thank you very much for using Taormina. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your lunch smoothly. We look forward to welcoming you again when you visit Hawaii.

この度は、タオルミーナをご利用頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。
スムーズにランチをお楽しみ頂けたようで、何よりでございます。
又、ハワイへお越しの際は、是非お待ち申し上げております。
タオルミーナ 梅田
We participated with a group of six, including family and friends. Since no one spoke Japanese, we managed with gestures and simple English. I cut the base of my thumb when I grabbed onto the bar due to the shock of arrival. There is also a section where you have to climb a rope for about 20 meters, so I recommend bringing leather gloves with fingertips exposed or gloves with grip. Additionally, the helmets are equipped for GoPro mounts, so if you want to bring one, a helmet mount or chest mount would be good.
友人家族含め6人で参加しました。日本語が通じる人は全くいないので、ジェスチャーと簡単な英語でなんとか乗り切りました。バーにつかまって到着時の衝撃で親指の付け根を切ってしまいました。途中20mほど綱登りをする場面もあるので、指先が出た革のグローブまたは滑り止めのついた軍手などを持って行くことをおすすめします。また、ヘルメットにゴープロがつけられるようになっているので持って行きたいひとはヘルメットマウントまたはチェストマウントがよかです。
